The newly obtained information about this specific car is presented on a Heritage Certificate rather than being a photocopy of the original Austin record. This makes it harder to understand as it is not the original entry as written on the day. The certificate says "Make and Model: Austin Seven Two-Seater" - so presumably in the Austin register is just says "Two-seater". Hence my question about how boat-tails are listed - was this usual? It is the name used in the brochure of the time.
Further down, for this car, where it says "Hood Colour", the certificate says "Not applicable". Again, the same questions arises. What does the actual Austin build register say, and what would it usually say for a boat-tailed Seven at this time?
I am expecting the entry to tally with any other boat-tailed car - so why does it say "Not Applicable" for the hood colour? Examples of the original records might answer this?
